“I had a room overlooking the street and didn't hear any noise. I had the AC on the door closed so it was very quiet.” (Zavabava)

“A room at the back next to the back pool would be great. We had a room right on the restaurant which was just fine, but felt less private than the back rooms.” (jillburynski)

“Towards the back is probably better, but it isn't a loud town at all so you don't have to worry too much about noise” (647jamiev)

“There is a lot of options in Samara, but the Giada Hotel is one of the "oldest" (which is not looks like old at all) in the area and still keep going vewery strong” (odirr)

“Rooms facing the restaurant are quieter. Rooms on the second floor and facing the pool have a nice balcony with a table and two chairs. Rooms facing the street might be a bit noisy. All rooms have a lot of natural light.” (mimi5grana)

By basic I mean that we were hoping for hair dryer, fridge, coffee machine and wardrobe - none of which we got. But smashing friendly place, very clean and comfy, rooms set round two pools in gardens and perfect location on main street no more than 5 minutes' walk from everything including the beach. But the unassuming restaurant was the...

the Giada hotel was not very special. Some of the staff were very unfriendly.
We got room the famous room number 9, the most hottest place in Samara. The room is just above the pizzeria and the floor is really hot. Airco did what it had to do, we slept well enough. The manager offered us an other room for...

The hotel is well located, in the center of the Little beach community of Samara but also, at only 150 meters from the beach. One of the most outstanding aspects is the food. We probably can say that this little beach hotel sells some of the best authentic homemade Italian food out there, including the US and other countries we...

I stayed here for a night when I first moved here and It was so nice to stay in a hotel that had a great bed, AC and hot water! The room was very comfortable. I was happy to "splurge" for the night and it's a good value for the price. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It's at...

Nice restaurant and pool area. Rooms basic and slightly worn down but still decent. Short walk to the beach (perhaps 100 meters).

We have spent two nights, at this really nice hotel.The room was very clean and bright with a private balcony overlooking one of the two swimming pool of the hotel. The bed was very large and comfortable and the bathroom was fully equipped with proper bathroom fittings as it should be always. Probably this depends on the fact that the...

Staff were great. Restaurant was good with a fine breakfast. Clean and good location. Only a few blocks to beach. Street noise was an issue were my room was located. The room was dark and nothing fancy but you're at the beach all day anyway.

Hotel is close to Playa Samara, less than 5min walk. Good location. Hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. Pizza at the hotel restaurant is tasty. Pool is nice, but a bit small. Worth value of the money.

We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights over Christmas. The breakfast was great, good value for the money. The room was very nice. It had a balcony overlooking the pool. There were a few insects in the room which didn't bother us much.
